Flat vertical divider inside bottles and jars

ABSTRACT

The principal of present invention is the creation of a flat vertical divider inside of the traditional bottles and jars by a simple additional molding steps to the traditional molding process technology creating two equal separated useful compartments. 
     The common materials to manufacture bottles and jars are plastic and glass but any material which could be molded can be used. 
     New improvements and conveniences of present invention for people are as follows:
         Two liquids of the same or different types could be stored in only one bottle or jar.   Useful mixtures from two different liquids could be obtained.   In case of an accidental puncture of one compartment, half of liquid remains in the other compartment.   Less bottles and jars are carried by traveling persons.   Additional free storage space would be created.   Less bottles and jar for disposal.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The traditional bottles and jars are used for storage of liquids, viscous substances and granular solids, typical in manufacturing, beverage and food industries, commercial services, cosmetology businesses, residential consumers, etc.

The principal of this invention is to create a flat vertical divider, inside of the traditional bottles and jars by introducing additional molding components to the traditional molding technology. As a result, the inside of bottles and jars will be divided in two equal and separated compartments.

The most common materials to manufacture bottles and jars are plastic and glass but any material which can formed using molding technology could be used. The bottles and jars with a flat vertical divider inside could be manufactured using the same materials as the traditional bottles and jars and could have any shape and size, as desired.

The flat vertical divider would give the bottles and jars many useful improvements and practical conveniences, in comparison to the traditional bottles and jars, as described under CLAIMS paragraph.

Due to technology similarity of creating a flat vertical divider inside bottles and jars and also for better understanding of the invention itself, the description method will be simplified referring only to plastic and glass bottles technology procedures. For the same reason, the substance stored in the bottles will be liquids.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION METHOD

In order to create a flat vertical divider inside bottles the following additional molding process movable components shall be added to the traditional technology of manufacturing bottles:

-   -   Two equal half-size forming molds shall replace the traditional         forming mold, used to form the full-size bottles. It is like         dividing in two equal half-size molds the traditional forming         mold. The purpose of those two equal half-sizes forming molds is         to form two equal half-size bottles.     -   A flat vertical movable partition shall be added in between         those equal half-size forming molds, as part of molding process.         The flat vertical movable partition shall have a thin thickness,         made of the same material as the equal half-size forming molds.         The purpose of the flat vertical movable partition is to create         a flat vertical wall on each half-size bottle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION METHOD

In order to create a flat vertical divider inside of traditional bottles, the following additional technology sequences are required:

-   -   The melted plastic or glass quantities shall be casted into each         half-size forming mold.     -   The air shall be blown into each half-size forming mold in order         to shape out two equal half-size bottles.     -   The presence of the flat vertical movable partition, between the         equal half-size forming molds, creates a flat vertical wall on         each half-size bottle.     -   The flat vertical movable partition shall be pulled-up or in         whatever pull-direction is more convenient for the technology         line.     -   The equal half-size forming molds shall be pushed, moving         against each other, until the flat walls of the equal half-size         bottles are firmly touching each other, creating a flat vertical         divider inside of the full-size bottle.     -   The blown air shall be kept, at equal pressure, in each         half-size bottle during the additional sequences described         above, until the flat vertical divider stands vertically firm,         creating two equal and separated compartments inside bottle.

All traditional technology sequences, prior and after the additional technology sequences described above for the creation of the flat vertical divider inside bottle, remain the same (e.g. preparation of prime materials, melting of prime materials, bottles removal from molds, bottles cooling, bottles packing, etc.)

The following traditional items will be used to seal the bottles with a flat vertical divider:

-   -   One screwed-cap for the bottle top opening.     -   Two foil peel & press one for each bottle compartment top         opening.

The flat vertical divider thickness will be twice of thickness of the bottle walls which give a larger area to the foil peel & press seals to be well settled on top of each opening of the bottle compartments.

In order to use of one or both liquids stored in the bottle compartments, the traditional screwed-cap shall be simply unscrewed from the bottle top opening and the foil peel-press seals peeled-off, from one or both bottle compartment top openings, as desired.

If the liquid from only one compartment is used, the liquid remaining stored in the other compartment will be safely protected against contamination by the foil peel-press seal.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The above-mentioned background, summary and detailed description of the invention method will become more apparent and the invention itself will be better understood by referencing the above paragraphs to the accompanying drawings showing the creation of the flat vertical divider inside bottles (the same for jars) and embodiment paragraph within this invention method specification.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

While this invention of a flat vertical divider inside bottles and jars has been described for bottles as preferred designs, it will be understood that the designs are capable of further modifications to any traditional container.

This invention method specification of the flat vertical divider inside of bottles and jars is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the invention method specification following the general principles thereof for any traditional container used in manufacturing, beverage and food industries, commercial services, cosmetology businesses, residential consumers, etc., regardless material, shape and size.

This invention specification method includes all departures from the present disclosures, as come within known or customary practice, in the art to which this invention pertains and falls, within the limits of the appended claims. 

1. The flat vertical divider created inside of traditional bottles and jars invention claims the following primary useful improvements and practical conveniences: Two liquids of the same or different types could be stored in only one bottle or jar. Mixed liquids could be obtained using only one bottle or jar, containing two different liquids. The structure of the bottle or jar with a flat vertical divider would be definitely stronger in comparison to traditional bottles or jars. In case of an accidental puncture of one of the compartments, less liquid would get spilled out.
 2. As a result of using only one bottle or jar for two liquids, the following secondary improvements and practical conveniences are claimed: Less bottles and jars might be carried by persons who are traveling. Additional storage space might be created where storage space is critical. The number of bottles and jars thrown in the garbage fields might decrease. Market advertisements and sales might be very successful, just because the useful improvements and practical conveniences given by the flat vertical divider inside bottles and jars, therefore in time the traditional bottles and jars could be replaced in a larger percentage.
